Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi has posted an update on the band’s 2013 tour in support of their latest album, “13.”
“Many thanks to everyone that came to see us on our tour to South and Latin America,” writes Iommi. “Quite an experience with huge crowds, I'm told 74,000 in Sao Paulo and 60,000 in Mexico City. Also, thanks to Megadeth, great band and really good people to work with, hope they enjoyed it as well.”
“Two grumbles,” he continues, “no thanks to whoever was coughing and sneezing on the overnight Air France flight down and gave me a dreadful cold virus, or whoever stole my trainers from the back of the stage in Buenos Aires! Otherwise, all pretty good, colder at night than I was expecting but an amazing reception from all the fans.”
“It's going to be strange playing indoors again but outdoors in Helsinki in November, I don't think so!,” adds the guitarist. “Looking forward to being in Europe, I had to miss out when I was taken ill in 2012, so it'll be great to get another chance to play there.”
Black Sabbath will launch a European tour in Helsinki, Finland on November 20.
On November 26, the metal legends will release a live DVD entitled “Black Sabbath - Gathered In Their Masses.”
The band was recorded over two shows – April 29 and May 1 – in Melbourne, Australia during the early stages of the group’s current world tour.
